SharePoint Workflow Services Communication Error in SharePoint 2013

I am developing a few workflows using SharePoint Designer 2013. Previously my workflows can be run without any WorkflowCommunication error but after Nintex Workflow is deployed and run in the same server, there were a few times the workflows that were created
using SharePoint Designer 2013 failed to run due to SharePoint WorkflowCommunication error. Below is the example of the error:
Microsoft.Workflow.Client.WorkflowCommunicationException: The request was aborted: The request was canceled. Client ActivityId : 3ef6779c-fb54-e0c5-7c03-e24d99e809f1. ---> System.Net.WebException: The request was aborted: The request was canceled. --->
System.ServiceModel.CommunicationObjectFaultedException: The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Configuration.ConfigurationChannelFactory`1[Microsoft.SharePoint.IdentityServices.IApplicationSecurityTokenServiceContract], cannot be used for
Currently, to make the workflow run again, we restart the SharePoint Workflow services again or restart the server again. Besides, the workflow can run normally after a few hours without any restart of SharePoint Workflow services or server restart. Is there
any advice on this?

This only occurs on the workflows that have been designer in SharePoint Designer 2013, when the using the template ones (for example the three-state) they run fine. Have searched the internet to no avail on the error but believe it is something to do with
the server settings and permissions. Thanks in advance

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Sharepoint Workflow get the Access Token Error.
I reoconmend that you can properly configure the HTTPS endpoint and then re-register the workflow farm with SharePoint.
The snippet below assumes that you have exported the SSL certificate from the workflow manager IIS web site to c:\wfm.cer.
$cert = Get-PfxCertificate "c:\wfm.cer"
New-SPTrustedRootAuthority -Name "Workflow Manager Farm" -Certificate $cert
Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite "http://dev.sharepoint.com" -WorkflowHostUri "https://devmachine
In addition, it may caused by
a mismatch between SharePoint and Workflows. You can install a new version workflow manger and sharepoint designer to check whether it works.

Exception with regards to SharePoint Workflow Services

Hi there,
Since today we suddenly get the following exception on our development farm:
Method 'get_IsClientValid' in type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServiceApplicationProxy' from assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' does not have an implementation.
We get this exception when we:
- Open up a site
- Open up Manage Service Applications from Central Administration
We don't get the exception when I open up the starting page of Central Administration.
Unfortunately we don't know what we have done that has resulted into this exception.
What is the root cause and is this easy to fix?

one or more configuration settings failed ...
in the config wizard window
and this in the log

SharePoint Workflow HTTP 404 Error

Hey guys,
I'm testing the functionality of workflow manager 1.0 on my SP 2013 SP1 environment. Both installed at the same Windows Server 2012 Standard.
I'm able to create and publish a WF using SP designer but when I tested it I got the following error message and status 'Suspended':
RequestorId: e3e4be0c-8745-2ea6-0000-000000000000. Details: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance.

executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
Although that message makes no sense to me I can see a HTTP 404 error code but I can't identify what cause that problem!
In SP log file I can't find any information related to my problem mainly because the file also has events from other services of SP as it is a production environment...it's just too complicated. Also I'm not sure of what to look for in there
Has anyone ever went through this issue and solved it? Or could anyone help me to find a way to solve it?

try this:
1- Create normal user account grant it permission to the site where you will create workflow.
2- Make sure that you have User Profile Synchronization run and all user profiles are imported
3-when you create workflow, log with different account than the farm account, normal user that you grant access to the site, then recreate the workflow by this account.
4- log to the site with the user that you created and create the workflow by using this account.

Missing shared feature Reporting Services Sharepoint and Reporting Services Add-in for Sharepoint products

Hi, when I try to install SQL Server 2012 SP1 (ISO from Microsoft Download website) on a Windows Server 2012 and try to select the shared feature options:
- Reporting Services Sharepoint
- Reporting Services Add-in for Sharepoint products
They are both missing from the list.
How do I solve this? Help!

Hello,
Did you download the SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Services edition from the Microsoft website? If so, this edition did not support SharePoint Integration mode.
Just as Alberto post above, Business intelligence features are not all available in all editions of SQL Server 2012. You can refer to the following link about support features in Editions of SQL Server 2012:

How to run "WCF Workflow Service Application" (C# project) using "WCF Test Client" in VS 2013 ?

I have created a WCF Workflow Service Application of C# project.
How to run the project using WCF Test Client directly from VS 2013 by doing F5 ?
Iam using VS 2013 (.NET 4.5.1). It throws an exception to compile c# expressions.
Can we set any settings in web.config file ?
Please provide the solution.

Bhanu Prakash T,
It surprises me that building a simple WCF Workflow Service Application project in VS 2013 is giving you this problem. That project template should result in a file with an extension of ".xamlx" being generated. With .Net 4.5 and C#, that XAMLX
file will contain CSharp* activities for the expressions that you specified in the workflow definition. By default, those expressions will be compiled when you use "F5" to execute the workflow.
Or are you self-hosting the WorkflowServiceHost and loading the XAMLX file yourself using ActivityXamlServices.Load and then creating and managing the WorkflowServiceHost object instance yourself? You must can do the compilation yourself by following these
examples -
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/741537/cannot-self-host-a-workflow-service-using-c-expressions or http://wf.codeplex.com/discussions/444990.

SP2013 Workflow Service Application is not showing up only WF Service App proxy but the WF is working...

I configured Sharepoint Workflow Manager 1.0 in Sharepoint 2013 App Server running under Windows 2012 R2. The Workflow manager is working properly - I tested using Sharepoint Designer and Sharepiont Workflow 2013 is listed. But under Service Applications,
only Workflow Service Application Proxy shows up NO Workflow Service Application.
I followed the troubleshooting steps on this - I have re-registered WF many times but still only proxy is coming up.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/laleh/archive/2014/09/03/sharepoint-2013-workflow-troublehsooting.aspx
I also run IPConfig /FlushDNS, rebooted App and WFE servers.
Any reason why WF Service Application is not showing up? Any resolution to have WF Service App show up?

Hi John,
I recommend to click Configuration Wizards in the Quick Launch of Central Administration site and then click Launch the Farm Configuration Wizard.
And then make sure that the Workflow Service Application is selected and then click Next. (You can uncheck the other service applications if you do not need them)
After that, the Workflow Service Application will show up.
Best regards.

Getting error while publishing workflow using SP designer for SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I am try to setup Workflow manager for our sharepoint applications.
WF manager set ran without any issue.
I registered the SPWorkflow service which succeeded as well. The Workflow service application shows "Workflow is connected"
I am creating a workflow using sharepoint designer using my credential (not Service account). I am able to save it but while publishing, its prompting with an error.
The error says "Errors were found while compiling the workflow.The workflow files were saved but cannot run." Clicking advanced button show

Any help would be highly appreciated

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got error while publishing workflow using SharePoint designer for SharePoint 2013.
Please check whether the Central Admin > Manage Service Application-> “App Management Service” is started.
Please check whether the “Configure service application associations”, ”App Management Service” is already associated.
Then please check whether the “Manage Services on server” and the “App Management Service” is started.
In addition, please try to re-register Workflow Service.
If the issues still exists, please follow the steps in the
Steps to Verify that Server Is Correctly Set Up. After you verified that the server is correctly set up, follow the steps in the
Steps to Troubleshoot Workflow Management Service and
Troubleshooting the Service Bus for Windows Server then retry your action related to publishing workflows

Hi
XantosX5 ,
Thank you for your posting!
According to your description, I try to reproduce your scenario in my SharePoint Server 2013 environment.
I create a lookup column in a list and create a workflow 2013 for the list. In the workflow, I add Send an email action. Then I display the lookup column in the body of the email as the below figure:
When I start the workflow, it works fine.
Have you installed
the workflow manager 1.0 cumulative update 1 ? It can be the point. If not, please install it.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Thanks for any ideas/advice. I'm considering SP 2010 instead but would prefer to get 2013 working properly.

The WF is designed in SPD2013 and it has below steps..
1. Send email to sharepoint group member.
2. Start WF task with same group.
3. Add item to another list based on WF Outcome variable value.
4. End WF.
I have single server stand alone setup, everything on one server. Setting done for SMTP server on Central Admin out going mail and I am receiving the mail.
User ID used to to login to server is a member of Farm admin and also has Site Collection Admin rights. The WorkFlow service is running using different service account.
Any direction to get the exact error would be great help! Many thanks in advance.

Unable to register workflow service in SharePoint 2013

I am trying to enable Workflow 2013 feature in SharePoint Designer 2013 and for that I installed Workflow Manager.
I am at the last step where you register workflow service using the following command but I am getting error.
COMMAND
Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite "http://myserver:1267" -WorkflowHostUri "https://myserver:12291/" -AllowOAuthHttp
ERROR
Register-SPWorkflowService : The root of the certificate chain is not a trusted root authority.
Then I changed the HTTPS to HTTP in command as well as port number from 12291 to 12290 but again error.
COMMAND
Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite "http://myserver:1267" -WorkflowHostUri "http://myserver:12290/" -AllowOAuthHttp
ERROR
Register-SPWorkflowService : The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.
What do I do now?

Hi Sridhar,
I have tried Register-SPWorkflowService command(below) with the "-Force" parameter but now i am getting below error. I have
installed Workflow manager on same server on which Sharepoint has been installed.
Command-Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite "Site_URL" -WorkflowHostUri "https://"FQDN
URL af"/" -AllowOAuthHttp -force
Register-SPWorkflowService : The underlying connection was closed: Anunexpected error occurred on a send. Client ActivityId :

At line:1 char:1

-WorkflowHostUri " ...

+ CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Share...WorkflowService:
RegisterSPWorkflowService) [Register-SPWorkflowService], WorkflowCommunica

Is this needed to install Workflow manager on the separate server?

Crawl log error in sharepoint 2013 for search services

Dear Support,
please find below mention crawl log error in sharepoint 2013 for search services.

want to crawl this repository during off-peak usage times.

2 The crawler could not communicate with the server. Check that the server is available and that the firewall access is configured correctly. If the repository was temporarily unavailable, an incremental crawl will fix this error.
would request your support for resolving this type of issue

1. Are you able to browse the sites on SP server. server is unavailable means that application pool
of that site is down. Check application pool on all server. if you start any application pool. make sure it does not stop few minutes later. you need to update password if it does stop
2. Create a disable loopbackcheck of registry on all servers

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926642/en-us
3. Create a new search service application and check if you face same issue.
4. I assume you have change some password or other setting when you started facing this issue. what changes were made in environment
